All about racing
My second-to-last race of the season is coming up this weekend, and I’m pretty excited! I’m flying down to the middle-of-nowhere Mexico for the last World Cup of 2008. “Middle-of-nowhere” isn’t even an exaggeration – the city of Huatulco, Mexico is definitely hard to get to for a major international race. I, for one, will […]

That is what was going through my mind yesterday at Scott Tinley’s Adventures. As it turns out my brakes weren’t rubbing, I was just having an off day. A really bad horribly awful off day. Even the weather was bad – it varied from a misty rain to a moderate downpour all morning. It was
I think my brakes are rubbing. Oh wait, no they’re not. Read More »
Here’s a little recap of what happened at the US Elite National Championship last week in Portland, OR. After the Pacific Grove Triathlon (the weekend prior to the race in Portland) I stayed out on the west coast and hung out with Steve and Ethan in Davis, California. After arriving in Portland I drove up
The US Elite National Championship was this past weekend in Portland, Oregon. The age-group National Championship was held on the same day (random fact – the age group and elite national championships have not been held in conjunction with each other since 1992 in Cleveland, Ohio!). Congrats to Ethan Brown on his 2nd straight U23

The Chicago Triathlon was last weekend. I hadn’t been to Chicago since I was very young so I was excited to go back (normally the Chicago airport is just a layover en route to another destination so it was odd to actually leave the airport in a car). Also exciting was my new TT bike
Manny, me, and Steve before the swim start. The top 20 athletes got called to the stage at the party on Sunday night. This is the women’s top 20. The crowd. Matt Chrabot and me on stage. The men’s podium.
The Hamburg World Cup is an awesome race. Run with German precision, the race is usually quite a spectacle for the people of Hamburg (Hamburgers!). Last year an estimated 300,000 people came out to watch the World Champs and it wasn’t much different at this year’s race where I managed to finish 18th. With that
